Dubai: It is a common knowledge that many successful personalities, without whose contributions the world wouldn’t have been as we see it today, either dropped out of schools or universities or generally struggled to cope with the largely regimented education system.
Thomas Edison, Bill Gates and to some extent even Albert Einstein are known to have struggled with the pedagogic education system.
It is rare that a gifted boy or girl shines through the school system, the basic structure of which has more or less remained the same in the last 100 years.
Though there are exceptions, giftedness hasn’t been generally identified early on in schools, even in modern days when there is greater emphasis on interactive and innovative learning.
Fundamental flaw
Either, there is something with these geniuses that doesn’t allow them to fit into the pedagogic settings of the school, or there is some fundamental flaw with the education system.
